@Monika Tusnady I’ll be back home at the piano on Saturday. It is SO difficult to travel when we don’t have access to a piano (and have all-meetings!).

Re: GENERAL DISCUSSION: Bach Goldberg Variations
@Susan Super! Maybe I should create a Google Docs where we all share the variations we've selected? Anyone can work on any variations they like, since this is a "side hustle", longer-term challenge!

@Juan Carlos Olite I just started a "Goldberg Variations" thread under General Topics. We can all pick our favorite variation for the group to learn, perhaps?

@Juan Carlos Olite Well, as long as you can travel to Barcelona when you have time to attend excellent concerts, then that is totally fine. Hopefully, it is less expensive than either big city, too!…
